Jian Yunong looked at Huo Jincheng with innocent eyes, clearly struggling to keep up with his thoughts. He seemed so fierce, yet why did she feel that he was somehow aggrieved and accusing her?
Huo Jincheng pinned her against the door, dissatisfied as he bit down on her neck. Jian Yunong trembled all over from the pain, but the feeling was more of a tingling sensation.
Huo Jincheng lingered on her tender neck, "Why are you so disobedient? You keep running away. It seems I need to educate you properly."
The so-called education ultimately boiled down to matters between men and women.
Men prefer to use direct and effective methods until women become obedient.
In the end, their breaths and sweat intertwined. Jian Yunong begged for mercy several times, tears welling up as she curled up in his embrace, feeling weak all over.
"You are a bad guy."
Jian Yunong accused him weakly, her voice hoarse, sounding almost like she was being coy.
Huo Jincheng kissed the sweat on her cheek, "Nong Nong... you are wonderful..."
Suddenly, Jian Yunong felt like crying. She leaned against Huo Jincheng's chest, tears falling one by one. Huo Jincheng kissed away the tears on her face, breathing in her scent, "Why are you crying? We're getting married; you don't have to worry about anything."
Huo Jincheng believed that no one is perfect, so there was no need to be harsh on Jian Yunong.
He simply wanted her to be straightforward; moreover, he liked her body—innocent and shyly blossoming, more enchanting than any spring scenery.
Huo Jincheng leaned back over her again. Jian Yunong held him tightly. What it felt like to love someone was probably this—wanting their skin to meld into one's bones, flesh and blood merging together.
"I didn't know. I thought after this cold war, you would be completely disappointed in me..." She spoke about her feelings of wanting to escape, feeling wronged. Although timid and not very clever, at least her thoughts were still pure and direct. "I hate myself too."
Jian Yunong discovered her serious psychological issues while abroad and had once loathed herself to the extreme, unable to part with cigarettes and alcohol, spending all day in bars and nightclubs in a haze of indulgence. Those days were reckless and wild, hard to look back on.
However, indulgence could not cure psychological problems; when sober, those issues still tormented her and even affected her daily life.
Jian Yunong went to see a psychologist, obediently cooperating with the treatment, until after returning to her country, her mother passed away, and she was kicked out of her home, marrying Huo Jincheng.
"But isn't it normal for couples to argue?" Huo Jincheng said with some amusement. "If arguing once leads to divorce, then my grandfather with his bad temper would have divorced my grandma long ago."
Jian Yunong fell silent. "I don't know."
"Is that how you were when you were in a relationship?"
"I've only been in love once. We broke up after our only argument."
"…"
Huo Jincheng kissed her forehead, calling her a little fool.
Jian Yunong grasped his strong arm. "Did you and Bai Ru argue a lot?"
"No," Huo Jincheng replied indifferently. "There wasn't much to argue about."
Because Bai Ru always liked to throw tantrums; being a young lady, she would show her displeasure at the slightest inconvenience to Huo Jincheng. Looking back on that relationship now, Huo Jincheng felt like he had been in an abusive situation. But at that time, he liked her so much that he would lower his head first and try to appease her.
Huo Jincheng rubbed her back gently. "In the future, if there are any problems, you must tell me, okay?"
He lifted her chin and said seriously, "You are my wife."
Jian Yunong's eyes sparkled. "Husband."
That one word was filled with affection.
The parts of herself she didn't like were the ones Huo Jincheng cherished.
At this moment, Jian Yunong thought of forever.
Huo Jincheng responded to her with a lingering kiss.
"Don't be afraid of my mom. With Grandpa and Grandma around, she won't do anything to you."
Jian Yunong nodded obediently; Huo Jincheng was her biggest support, and she wasn't afraid of Mrs. Huo.
Jian Yunong went to work with Huo Jincheng.
As usual, Jian Yunong stepped out of the elevator first and returned to her workstation.
Secretary Jiang saw Huo Jincheng enter and stood up, respectfully saying, "Chairman Huo is inside."
Jian Yunong's heart skipped a beat. Did Mrs. Huo come?
She lowered her head quickly.
Huo Jincheng hummed in response, glanced at Jian Yunong's desk, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.
Secretary Jiang noticed the boss's expression and couldn't help but admire Jian Yunong's skills. Although she wasn't the most beautiful, she had managed to capture Mr. Huo's heart completely.
"Jian Yunong, pour two cups of tea and take them in," Secretary Jiang intentionally gave her this opportunity to show her face.
No... Jian Yunong really wanted to cry. Why did she have to do this?
But there was no way out.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Three knocks on the door, Jian Yunong carefully walked in with a tray.
Huo Mother sat in Huo Jincheng's usual spot, her expression serious and imposing, radiating a strong sense of authority. A glance from her brought an overwhelming pressure.
Jian Yunong's hands felt inexplicably weak.
Huo Jincheng casually supported her and took the tray from her.
Huo Mother was displeased, seeing her son so openly helping Jian Yunong.
"What can she learn at the Secretariat? It would be better to let her go to the Board of Directors; I can keep her by my side."
Huo Mother's sudden remark startled Jian Yunong; she was taken aback by her mother-in-law's unexpected enthusiasm...
She felt scared.
Huo Jincheng wore a playful smile, holding Jian Yunong's hand and gently stroking her delicate palm. "Nong Nong is too foolish. Chairman Huo has a lot on his plate; don't let her delay your work. I'll teach my daughter-in-law myself."
Huo Mother snorted coldly, "Good, very good."
After Huo Mother left, Jian Yunong worriedly said, "Mother-in-law... will she..."
"Don't worry. She doesn't have the time to be angry."
A faint smirk appeared on Huo Jincheng's lips; for his mother, career was the most important thing. Her dissatisfaction with any woman he liked stemmed from their family backgrounds not being good enough to contribute to the Huo family's business, whether it was Bai Ru or Jian Yunong.
The old man insisted on going home after just a few days in the hospital. Despite the scolding from Grandma and the persuasion from the younger generation, they ultimately went along with his wishes.
Friday came again, marking another day to return to the Huo Family Old Residence for dinner.
After dinner, the old man dragged Jian Yunong to finish the unfinished game of chess.
It wasn't until ten o'clock that the game finally concluded.
The old man was unusually happy.
Jian Yunong lost the game, but felt even better than if he had won, because the old man was pleased.
"Grandpa, you look really good. You must relax more in the future."
"Alright." The old man was happy; whatever she said was fine with him.
Jian Yunong went downstairs to get water for the old man.
When she came back up, the old man was sitting in his chair, with his head down.
"Grandpa..."
"Grandpa..."
"Grandpa, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
No matter how Jian Yunong called out, the old man did not respond.
That night, the Huo Family could not sleep.
The old man passed away.
